I bet that topic got your attention
How many people clicked on this and thought yes at last that idiot is off, how many of you clicked on it and thought oh no this is terrible.
To start, I am not happy with last night and things have to change/get better but lets get some perspective.
I would like to discuss some points Ive seen so far
1. The final in Athens, it was a CL final and we were the better team but sometimes it goes against you, just ask Milan about Istanbul. The tactics were good, we played and were beaten by a team that does have one or two good players. I think we have a divine right to lift big ears but so do clubs like Milan and Madrid. Two finals is not bad for a tinkering rotating Spaniard.
2. We wont win the league its all over. Ive supported Liverpool since the 70,s and it pains to me to admit this but we havent looked like league winners since Kenny left. This is the best chance Ive seen since then. We are unbeaten and we are not playing well but hanging on in there and getting points. One of my best mates is an Arsenal fan and knows his stuff. He has nothing but praise for us and Benitez. The horrible reality is that while we were nowhere near being champions the other clubs have invested hugely and have accumulated experience with their managers. We are still playing catch up but we have caught up a lot. The rest are not going to stand still, speak to any decent Manu, Arsenal or Chelsea fans and they genuinely fear us although you will get abuse and stick as par the course.
3. Rafa is stubborn. Yes I agree 100% show me a top manager who isnt stubborn, has an ego etc.
4. I spent and evening with Joey Jones last year and was shocked when he talked about Paisley and his ranting and raving when the team were rubbish, we get nostalgic about the past but there were hard times then as well and history proves that we got through those times as well.
Just to end. In adversity we stand together simple as that
